Actually, the film's portrayal of Iron Man/Tony Stark was based on Elon Musk.

So yeah.

I really doubt that, as Iron Man is a comic character from the start of 1960 or so.

The Tony Stark from the comics is very different from the one in the movies. He specifically said the "films' portrayal".

Except that he said the film's portrayal, not the character itself
